The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) will offer two classes beginning in late July. “Care giving Training” will run for six consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. July 22 through August 26. The course will cover important topics such as communication and reporting procedures, health and safety for clients and the employee, ethics in the workplace, and caring for both the young and elderly with disabilities. Individuals may choose to take one or all six sections.

“Art: Take a Look, It’s a Book” is a course that will focus on the process of book art, papermaking, and scrap booking. Participants will create a scrapbook “from scratch” during the course, which will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. July 25 through August 10.
